2008 Scion xB Baseline Dyno Testing

Data from Road & Track's long-term fleet.

Most Read

Our xB registered its peak values right on the money with 150 hp at 6000 rpm and 157 lb.-ft. at 4000 rpm measured at the wheels (versus the factory claimed crank figures of 158 bhp and 162 lb.-ft.). Torque comes in nice and flat as early as 2600 rpm and horsepower is linear, making for excellent driveability. These figures were higher than we expected from our navy blue box, which explains why we always felt the xB to have some pep in its step around town.
